We can "bear-ly" wait for the second installment of our Winter Lecture Series. Ali Davis, District Wildlife Biologist with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, has a lot of experience helping constituents manage human-wildlife conflicts and is looking forward to sharing some tips and tricks on how to avoid conflict on your property. Ms. Davis started with the Department of Wildlife Resources in 2018 as the region's Nuisance Bear Coordinator and became a District Wildlife Biologist in the spring of 2021. Her district includes Botetourt, Bedford, Roanoke, Franklin, Patrick, Henry, and Pittsylvania counties.
